Numerical Analysis of the Wet Deformation for Earth-Rock Dam during Water Storage

Article Preview

Abstract:

Finite element equations are introduced when the wet deformation is considered under Coupled Deformation and Seepage Fields. The principle of the initial stress increment method, by which the wet deformation can be calculated, is detailed dealt with. One earth-rock dam is stimulated by finite element method during water storage. By applying nonlinearity elastic model, give the discussions on the impact on stress field and displacement field by the wet deformation. The results show that the wet deformation weakens the uplift by buoyancy. Those results gained by numerical method may provide reference to engineering practice.
